Retained EU Law Bill scrapped
The Metro, Gazette, NZ Lawyer, Canadian Lawyer, Gazette Ireland, New Law Journal and The World News cover our reaction to the government’s decision to replace a ‘sunset clause’ in the Retained EU Law Bill with a list of laws that will be revoked by the end of the year.
Law Society President Lubna Shuja said this would “provide some certainty for businesses, lawyers and citizens alike.”
“The government’s decision to remove the sunset clause and replace it with a list of the retained EU laws that it intends should fall away at the end of 2023 is the right decision,’ she said.
“We await the list being published. It is essential there is sufficient time to review affected legislation and consider the repercussions in all areas of law.”
